Romantic Musicians

" The foundation of Romantic period thus coincides with what is often called the "age of revolutions", an age of upheavals in political, economic, social and military traditions. This age that witnessed the initial transformations of the Industrial Revolution. A revolutionary energy was also at the core of Romanticism, which quite consciously set out to transform not only the theory and practice of poetry (and all art), but the very way we perceive the world. Some of its major precepts have survived into the twentieth century and still affect our contemporary period".

Famous quotes containing the words romantic and/or musicians:

    The rich were dull and they drank too much or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious.

    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    We stand in the tumult of a festival.
    What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
    These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
    These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
    A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
    That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
